Leaked: OS 5.0.0.592 for the BlackBerry Curve 8520

In what seems to be an endless supply of leaks, OS 5.0.0.592 for the Curve 8520 has popped up this morning. BBLeaks again gave some love with another leaked build today, adding to the Bold 9000 and Curve 8900 leaks from yesterday. I'm starting to like these last two weeks with the insane amount of new OS' that have been coming up. Hit the link below to download.

*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). *

on the 5.0.411, my 8520 would take 15-25 minutes to restart from a battery pull
but with this new os, it only takes 5-6 minutes to restart and only a minute for everything to be loaded after a battery pull

i have a bb 8520 thru t-mobile
i just upgraded my phone everything went good execpt a my faves icon on the home screen has shown up i looked throught the menus and called customer support with no luck they want to do a master reset to fix it any help would be appr.

What do you mean by a "my faves icon", is it an application or is it a folder that's missing? I might be able to help. Customer support always want to do a master reset, which might not be necessary. Drop me a line

can anyone help, cant get desktop manager to recognise the install, tried all sorts, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, tried the loader option, and just wont recognise. anyone else had the same prob? even tried with previous 5.0 and still nothing.

I tried this build for a couple days..load up time from battery pull was significantly slow, memory dropped from 138mb to 121mb..using it on Orange UK and UMA stopped working..Battery drained faster and BBM very slow and kept freezing..it was so frustrating! Browser wasn't really any faster than .509. Didnt have any trackpad problems but the other buggy issues mentioned has made me go back to the official .509 which I found to be far more stable.
